As she sobs in the night,
Her parents start another fight.
As she hears the screams,
She sits alone and weeps.
The fighting has now stopped,
And her crying starts to cease,
When her innocent tears dry,
Her mom walks in and speaks.
I'm sorry that made you cry,
He means not what he says,
You know we both love you,
She swears wiping the little girls eye.
As her mom leaves the room,
Daughter is all settled down,
Until she hears a door slam,
Then her dad walks in and says.
Stop crying right now you "stupid little brat,"
You know we don't care if your feeling that sad,
Struggling to get up, you hear a big smack,
She is back on the floor, her face blue and black.
He kicks her, then swears, then yells really loud
"No one loves you here, so get out of this house."
The very next day she tries to run away,
But her dad soon finds out and it begins all again.
That day was the same, yet different in many ways,
All I will say is that poor little girl, just faded away.
Now she is in heaven,
Her mom really sad,
Her dad doesn't care,
He ended her life so bad.
Her mom was so sad that she went for a drive,
Her behind the wheel, and the dad by her side.
All of a sudden the car lost control,
Then went over a cliff,
On purpose I know.
Now she too is in heaven, her little girl by her side,
The dad never made it
With them into the clouds.
Although all three have died
Just wanted to say this did not happen to me or anyone that I know. I write poems about subjects that I feel strongly about and I believe that no man should ever harm a women or child.
